 Holy crap, new @SeedSigner metal just arrived and it's freakin beautiful.

 Ohhhh, sahhhh purdy. 🤹😃 
 So beautiful!! Right? It’s a solid piece of hardware! 
 What do you do with that thig? It looks like a work in progress for early legos. HaHa 
 Check out the project https://seedsigner.com It’s a bitcoin signing device (aka hardware wallet) that can be built with off the shelf parts. (RasPi board, camera and off the shelf screen/head unit. Perks being don’t have to doxx yourself to a bitcoin company to buy the parts. This metal version is just a special case that MoneroTime on twitter is making. 
 Awesome, i need one.😊 
 Beautiful device. But might want to hold off on transactions for a bit. 200+ sats per vbyte right now. 
 Students don’t teach the teacher! 
 The irony of a cheap seed signer that costs as much as a multisig transaction fee… 
 🤭 
 Nice!  Where did you get the case? 
 @XmrStreet here 
 SeedSigner can provide it to you too 
 My fav signing device 👌🏻 
 I can't wait until you dive into this one! 🤙 
 Great device but too delicate, that unit won’t survive even casual travel.  Buttons need to be flush with casing… useless to anyone who is on the move, unfortunately 
 Then try the SlimSlice enclusure. No protruding buttons and a protective window over the screen:

 You can take it apart and reassemble it. You can replace broken components. 
 I think you need to try it out before drawing conclusions about the fragility of the buttons position, the buttons are robust and the height of the buttons greatly improves the user experience according to my tests :)

Put it in a soft protective case when you travel, and I guarantee it'll be perfectly safe. 
 Thanks for the feedback… Tough to spend more $ after breaking 2 of them already, but I do love the project so maybe I’ll give it one more try 
 Give it a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed, this little creature is badass.👌 
 Alright, I’ll give it another go… I’m headed back to the States soon anyways 🤜🏼🤛🏼 
 @JohnJames I personally don’t see this being a issue as it’s solid…. but….. @XmrStreet have you thought about doing a silicone case like the flipper zero? 
 I think about it more and more 
 Thanks for the feedback… I am traveling often with little space in my bag & my previous 2 SeedSigners were protected as best I could, but still destroyed them both (just too much movements/manhandling for the traditional case I think)...  The aluminum seems like a huge upgrade but I’m still leery about exposed buttons 
 Where did you get it from? 
 You can get it from Gobrr or Vulcan21
